Description
Dr. Susan Weiss, founder and director of the Center for Women’s Justice, interviews podcast host and to'enet rabbanit Rivkah Lubitch about the way that Jewish law might impact women in the aftermath of the Gaza war. Susan and Rivkah talk about women who might not be able to get divorced (agunot); women who might need their brothers-in-law’s permission to remarry (halizah); and women who may —or may not —have been raped, and how that affects their relationships. Who might be affected adversely by Jewish law? Who might be absolved? How, if at all, will the rabbis resolve the issues raised? Will there be a systemic solution for all the cases that arise, or will each case be decided on its own? And what has the state have to do with this? Podcast interview with Hanna Vacholder Katzman on “Exit Strategy” here. Support and amplify women's voices by contributing to the making of this podcast: Donate now to the Center for Women’s Justice.
